    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I dont know if i would seriously call that one a hybino more than i would call it a nice tangerine jungle, the way i see hybinos are like the ones ruben and kelli have, no white, all orange body, carrot tail, others may call that hybino....

its an awesome gecko non the less

that was just my opinion, dont be offended by it ;)
 
The only reason I call it a hybino is because that's what Alberto called it.... This is the one you said you held ;)

Matt
 
ah, i didnt recognize it, looks like she has darkened, she may be close to hybino..i dont know, when i close my eyes and say "hybino" i see a Super Hypo Tangerine Carrot Tail albino

but that one could be classified as hybino, it could still lose the white thats left..
 
Here is another pic

She has darkened......

Not much though

ide call it hypo albino too

the white colored bands are being crowded out by the orange (hypo-lines have this affect ! )
 
Cooling

Here is a picture of it before I let it cool

Wow thats an awesome leopard. I sure as heck would not have let her cool down. Man she was awesome looking! I would consider that one a Hybino. Actually what Hine,Kelli,Craig and a few others are producing should actually be Super Hybinos!
 
It looked to be a Hybino before cooling and I agree with Chad I would not have done so. It an awsome leo though very nice. Here ia a pic of a Hybino. I want to produce my own but I think just buying one will save alot of time but man theyre alot. I am going to do both.

hey matt what lineage does your hybino come from i mean i am sure drago was the father but do you know who the mother was my female (ruby's sister) i got from alberto is has very litte white left also i am crossing my fingers as she is only 4 monthes old.

Billy
 
hybinos are born hybino... you can tell as hatchlings from the eggs they are that would be somesidered a tangerine albino (the tangerine over time has spread. but qa true hybino is born hybino. no mistaking a hybino at birth
 
hey robin i got a ? for you doest a super hypo hatch out with bands and then as the gecko ages those bands fade wouldnt this be sort of the same thing?? not tring to start an argument i am asking a simple question because i know you have more experiance on this and also can you post a pic of hatchling hybino i am curious as to what they look like

thanks Billy
 
when hypo hatch out the egg you can tell they will be a super hypo also hypos as well. tangerines on the other hand are different. that is why i say it is a nice "super" if you will tangerine albino. tangerines sometimes do not even hatch out orange but rather gain it as they age. then there are tangs that hatch right out the orange as can be and just intensify with age.
 
the reason i asked this is because i only hatched 7 babies from a dominant super hypo she was bred to a patternless male (before i recieved her ) i also own the pattern less male and they all looked like normal high yellow babies and 3 of the 7 are super hypos and the outher 4 are only having around 10 spots left so is it different with the dominant super hypos? any pics would be apreciated

billy
 
hybino only a couple weeks old.... regular hypos would be yellow to yellow orange and lavendar with no black (those eill most likely turn super) the ones with hints of black on the borders can go either way hypo or super hypo but you can tell with in the first couple of weeks... this is of course you are working with animals decended from the hine line of hypo

also i do not believe the hine line is dominant i believe it is co dominant however when your thinking of hypo being dominant or co dominant you have to include anything (regarless off the amt of spotting) that has reduced melanin... because that is what hypomelanism is... but over the years it has been refined to brighter colored animals with fewer and fewer spots hypo is a rather relative term littlerally meaning the reduction of melanin... so if i have a gecko with say 20 spots i could call it a hypo because compared to true normals (which have LOTS of spots) it has a reduction in the amount of melanin. if i have an animal with quite a few spots and lets say i am selling it i just call it say a tang from a hypo line or a high yellow from a hypo line or a pastel from a hypo line or whatever... you get the idea
 
yes you are right i ment to say co-dominant because if it was dominant all the babies would be super hypos reguardless what the male was were there any other co-domnant blood lines that you know of because when i look at her i dont see hine's in her also that is one beautiful baby you posted is that a bell?
